Find a watermelon that is a uniform size (oval or round) either is ok. You just want to watch out for irregular bumps.
You want to find the melon that is heavy for its size. This usually means it will be sweeter and will have more water content.
Look for an orange creamy field spot. The darker yellow field spot usually means it was on the vine longer and is full of flavor.
If the field spot is white that’s a sign that the melon is not quite ripe.
Larger “webbing” or “sugar spots” means that the melon is seeping out sugar and is usually the sign of sweet melon.
Look for dark & dull melons which is a sign that the melon is ripe. When the melon is shiny it is underripe.
